A Holder will provide such evidence as soon as reasonably practicable after its beneficial ownership is such that additional shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock may be delivered without contravening the Conversion Restriction. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Certificate of Designations to the contrary (but subject to waiver pursuant to Section 19), the Elevance Group and the GH Group shall not have the right to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock, and the Company shall not issue shares of Class A Common Stock to the Elevance Group or the GH Group, in excess of the Elevance Share Cap or the GH Share Cap, respectively.

Any such certificate or certificates shall be delivered by the Company to the appropriate Holder on a book-entry basis, through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, or by mailing certificates evidencing the shares to the Holders, in each case at their respective addresses as set forth in the Conversion Notice or in the records of the Company.

In order to determine whether the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be delivered to a Holder upon the conversion of such Holder’s shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will include a fractional share, such determination shall be based on the aggregate number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock of such Holder that are being converted on any Conversion Date.
